Here's a good one, .357 mag. Raineer 140gr plated FP 8.2gr of AA#5 WSP COL 1.585
or the same with 7.0gr of W-231
Bullseye has worked really well for me with swaged lead and cast, for short barreled .357 mag.
I don't have a light weight .357 mag snub, mine is steel with adjustable sights and has a 2.75" barrel. I have found that working up reduced .357 mag loads has helped me shoot the heavier loads more effectively.
